Cave paintings collide with cinema in this breathtakingly immersive trip through space, sound and film texture.

Austrian avant-garde wizard Siegfried A. Fruhauf (Camera Test, MIFF 2022; Thorax, MIFF 2021) presents an extraordinary work of formalist collage, tracing the earliest images of human cave art via light painting, celluloid scratching, stop motion and the digital animation of the 21st century. Cave Painting is an immersive kaleidoscope of sound and vision that looks to the future by drawing on the ancient past.
